The Nevada Athletic Commission has disclosed the salaries for the main card of UFC 245 Saturday night. The headliners, Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington will be making $500K each for the title fight.
Usman, the champion, will take home $500,000 (no win bonus), while Covington will take home the same amount. Max Holloway will make $350,000 for his Featherweight title defense against Alexander Volkanovski. The challenger will make $250,000.
Amanda Nunes will make $350,000 and another $150,000 if she wins. Germain de Randamie will earn $100,000 as challenger.
Jose Aldo will make $400,000 with no bonus while Marlon Moraes will make $100,000 and another $100,000 if he wins. Urijah Faber will make $250,000 while his opponent Petr Yan will make $66,000 and another $60,000 if he should win.
Payout Perspective:
Aldo’s $400,000 is an outlier among the payouts. Also, Amanda and Max’s base seem low compared to the main eventers although this card is driven by the bitter rivalry.
